4 Product description

C610/C610A

The Gigaset C610 and the Gigaset C610A are the high-

quality phones with user-friendly features that fit family

life. Direct call, anonymous call silencing and an integrated

baby phone with a selectable talk-back option are tailored

to families’ needs. To keep sleeping babies undisturbed, a

switch can mute the handset’s ringer. The large TFT colour

display ensures readability, and the user interface with jum-

bo font makes operation simple. Programmable ringtones

announce designated callers. Each call comes in brilliant

HSP

sound quality – even in hands-free mode. The long

talk/standby time of up to 12/185 hours allows conversa-

tions to go on with little recharging necessary. Short mes-

sages can be sent with the text message

function, and the

C610/C610A can be expanded by up to 6 handsets. These

phones are also fully compatible with the L410 wearable

speakerphone. The C610A with an answering machine

offers up to 45 minutes of recording time. Its base-station

LED display indicates new messages, which are announced

with date and time. A skip-back function repeats the last

seconds of messages, and the answering machine can be

operated either via the handset or base station. For com-

munication that is family approved, the C610/C610A is a

perfect match.

5 Ecological power use –

ECO DECT in the C610/C610A

ECO DECT saves energy and makes an active contribution to environmental protection.

ECO DECT addresses the following points:

Switched-mode versus conventional power supply

1. The use of switched-mode power supplies (B) in the base station cuts consumption by

up to 60 % compared to conventional power supply units (A).

Phone use averaging one hour per day results

in a yearly saving of approximately 24 kWh.

4 /11

C610/C610A www.gigaset.com

2. The ECO DECT function complements this adjustment: the transmission power of the

handset and base station in idle mode are automatically reduced to zero if the handset is

in the base station and only one handset has been registered.

3. If customers select “ECO Mode”, they can also manually reduce the transmission power

of the base station and handset by 80 %. In radiation-free “ECO Mode Plus” the DECT

transmitting power is switched off when the handset is idle or charging and when all

handsets support ECO Mode Plus.

Also, the handset’s power consumption can be cut by 9 %, thereby increasing talk time

by 10%. However, this reduces the range to about half the distance.

4. For many years, Gigaset DECT handsets have enabled the automatic adjustment of trans-

mission power – depending on the distance to the base station. For example, transmis-

sion power is reduced by approximately 60 % at a distance of up to five metres.

7 Material savings

1. Thin-wall technology

Over the last few years, thin-wall technology has been successfully implemented in phone

cases. During this time, wall thicknesses have been reduced from 2.5 mm to 2.3 mm and

now average about 1.8 - 2 mm. This corresponds to granulate savings of more than 20 %,

without sacrificing mechanical stability or robustness.

2. Packaging optimisation

The size and weight of the packaging has been optimised to be in accordance with

shipping standards.

The primary aim of this is to reduce transportation costs for the entire product portfolio.

The basic purpose of primary packaging is to protect the product. Drop and continuous

shock testing (simulating transportation) are required. We use LD-PE film to protect the

surfaces of certain parts, as well as 100 % recycled corrugated cardboard as packing

material. Film usually accounts for around 4 % of the total packaging. Both the film and

cardboard can be recycled.

8 Manufacturing

1. Environmental requirements

The C610 and C610A are manufactured exclusively in Germany. Gigaset Communications attaches

prime importance to compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Through its management

system and environmental performance, Gigaset Communications is able to meet these require-

ments and continue to improve. It goes without saying that Gigaset Communications also respects

all local environmental requirements.

2. Effects of automation

The high degree of automation in Gigaset Communications’ production processes has a limited

impact on the environment through energy saving and efficient machine utilisation.

For example, the electronic circuit board of these devices is produced solely on a production line

with a cycle time of under 6 seconds and an efficiency greater than 75 %.

3. Manufacturing concepts

Gigaset Communications believes in a short feedback path for testing. All process parameters are

controlled cyclically so that any problems can be detected promptly before they arise and non-con-

formance is minimised. Every step in the value chain is checked separately to help identify potential

errors at an early stage.

Process controls and short feedback paths for testing therefore minimise material waste (compo-

nents and process aids). Rejects are continuously monitored with the goal of achieving a rate of

less than 1 %.

4. Refuse disposal

Packaging material and electronic scrap are strictly separated in “environmental islands” at Gigaset

Communications’ production facilities and recycled by local service providers. To reduce volume, the

individual materials are compacted by roller presses. The compaction ratio for cardboard boxes is, for

example, 6:1. This enables more efficient transportation of around 800 tons of cardboard per year.

5. Work safety

Gigaset Communications is especially committed to

protecting the health and safety of its manufacturing

employees. This is why Gigaset Communications takes

such great care to protect its employees in the work-

place. This includes steps such as responsible manage-

ment, instruction, sensitisation and process engineering,

prevention of and planning for emergencies, systematic

investigation into the causes of accidents, quick availa-

bility of medical aid, documentation, regular reporting

and continuous improvement.

9 Transport packaging

All suppliers of packaging to Gigaset Communications GmbH are members of RESY (Orga-

nisation für Wertstoff- Entsorgung GmbH). RESY, an organisation for the disposal of valu-

able materials, was established in light of the German Packaging Ordinance. This ensures

the return and recycling of paper and cardboard packaging used in transportation within

Germany. Each user is given a four-digit ID that, along with the RESY symbol, must be prin-

ted clearly and visibly on paper and cardboard transport packaging.

All secondary packaging has the RESY symbol on it to indicate that the specifications of

the Packaging Ordinance for transport packaging have been met.

10 Distribution

When goods are shipped to the customer, they are consolidated at central hubs of best in

class logistic providers and then distributed in highly efficient logistics networks.

The Gigaset Logistics Network (GLogN) is the basis for the efficient and secure movement

of goods. The core of this transport network is a pool of highly-qualified service providers

who offer the best prices and performance thanks to the pooling of Gigaset-wide needs.

The use of transportation resources is being optimised by continuing improvements in the

size of product packaging. The packaging units of our suppliers are optimised ahead of

procurement to ensure the means of transport is fully loaded (e.g. containers in the case of

sea freight).

In overseas logistics chains, we try to ensure that marine transport is used as frequently

as possible. Transportation of goods by rail or inland waterway is preferred over trucks be-

cause it reduces emissions by 50 %. Air freight for transporting goods internationally is the

exception and out of principle shipment by sea has priority.

11 Disposal

Our takeback concept

In accordance with European directives on the disposal of electrical waste and electronic equipment (2002/96/EC),

packaging (94/62/EC) and batteries (2006/66/EC), these waste materials may not be thrown away as domestic refuse. The

relevant national statutory regulations must be observed and the waste must be disposed of via the approved channels.
